Peculiarity Using CheckPoint Files And The OnPostExecute Event Handler

Oct 5, 2007

Hello,

Upon completion of a package the OnPostExecute event is fired whether the package was successful or not. As expected.

Then, I setup the package to use CheckPoints. I create a Script Task and set the Dts.TaskResult to fail. When the package runs and fails the OnPostExecute event for the package does not fire! If I remove the CheckPoints from the package, the OnPostExecute event fires.

What's even stranger is that if I set the Script Task to succeed, and then rerun the package, the OnPostExecute event still doesn't fire!

Has anyone else noticed this? It seems to me that the OnPostExecute event should fire whenever the package completes as it does when CheckPoints are not used. Why would it not fire when using CheckPoints?


Thank you,
Langston

Unallocated Space Anomaly

Jul 20, 2005

At my current workplace, whenever I check table sizes using the'reserved' column from sysindexes, or sp_spaceused, I get a total forall user tables which exceeds the physical size of the database.Running sp_spaceused with no parameteres, I get a NEGATIVE value forunallocated space in the database, but only see this if I return theresults in GRID format in QA (text format gives less output):DatabaseName DatabaseSize Unallocated Spacexxxxx_xxxxx11502.38 MB-4874.80 MBReserved Data index_size unused16602800 KB7013752 KB2381904 KB7207144 KBIf I re-run sp_spaceused with the @updateusage='TRUE' option, thisoutput gets corrected to:DatabaseName DatabaseSize Unallocated Spacexxxxx_xxxxx11502.38 MB2773.76 MBReserved Data index_size unused8770680 KB6928168 KB1808096 KB34416 KBwhich shows a substantial difference in the Reserved/Data/Index/Unusedsizes.This happens every day - any ideas about:1) Why this might be happening on such a large scale, and2) Is it conceivable that these discrepancies in space allocationinformation could be causing performance problems? I can imagine thatif the database is trying to locate free pages on extents yet itsinternal view of these doesn't match reality then this could impededata insertion.Offers anybody?

SQL 2005 SSIS Anomaly

Jun 4, 2007

I've sure I have a problem that hasn't been addressed on the forum exactly. I have a SQL 2000 database that the SSIS designer sees, meaning it is a member of the 'Server Explorer' group. I am trying to update my SQL 2005 database based on values from a SQL 2000 database table using an OLE DB Command data flow transformation. I use a SELECT query in the OLE DB Source control to get the required columns. I use an UPDATE statement to identify where to place the columns retrieved from the source. I get an error that tells me that the update statement fails because it can't identify the SQL 2000 database I am trying to use. The highlighted part of the error is something I haven't seen in the similar posts I've read. And, it's ironic because the server is actually 'linked'.

Error 1

Clustering For Anomaly Detection

Mar 14, 2008

Hi,

I have been trying to use the Clustering algorithm for Anomaly Detection, but it has been quite difficult to get correct results for PredictCaseLikelihood.
Using a very large number of clusters helped, but there are other problems.
The algorithm does not take into account all the columns in my nested table, but only uses Exists/Not Exists for the nested table key column. In my case the nested table contains also a column with a count of key attribute.

I am about to abandon the Sql Data Mining.

Does anyone have more insights into tuning the Clustering algorithm for anomaly detection?

Thanks

Dateadd Date Calculation Anomaly

Apr 3, 2008

I am doing monthly reporting for whole months, all starting on the 1st of each month and finishing on the last day of the month
I use dateAdd to calculate the end of the month - so I add 1 month and subtract 1 second (start time is always 00:00:00).

--dFrom is Jan 01 2008 00:00:00
select @dTo=dateadd(ss,-1,dateadd(mm,1, @dFrom))


when I print dTo it is not Jan 31 2008 23:59:59 but Feb 01 2008.
Why is this?
Only starts to behave when I set the number of seconds I am adding from -1 to -31.

Time of date is unimportant: as storing all dates as midday (any data type which ONLY supports date? not interested in the time really).


Subtracting one minute from midnight works fine, but that said: I am curious to understand why I am getting the funny behaviour above.

1. Maintenance Cleanup. 2. 'View History' Anomaly

Mar 31, 2008

Hi. I'm very new to SQL Server and would greatly appreciate any advice with regard to my two questions below.

I've recently been given responsibility for a pair of clustered Windows 2003 servers running SQL Server 2005. Looking through SQL Server Management Studio, I found the following three maintenance plans:

- System Maintenance Plan (all system databases)
- Plan 1 (1 database)
- Plan 2 (4 databases).

All three maintenace plans had the following elements configured, in the following order:
- Check Database Integrity
- Backup Database (Full)
- Shrink Database
- Update statistics
- Clean Up History

with the exception that Plan 1 doesn't have a 'Shrink Database' task (because, I'm told, its data is pretty static), but none had a Maintenance Cleanup Task, so I added one to each plan specifying 14 days of old backups to be kept in all cases except Plan 1, where I limited it to 2 days, the database being over 7 GB in size. All links between tasks in all plans are AND constraints, value 'Completion'. All .BAKs are written to tape by Symantec Backup Exec as part of the daily backup.

Two questions from this:

1. Since .BAKs are written to separate folders for each database, do I need, for example, four Maintenance Cleanup Tasks for the Plans covering four databases - one for each folder/database? I can't see a way of specifying that a Maintenance Cleanup Task should apply to multiple databases or search subfolders based on database name, so I assume I need four consecutive Maintenance Cleanup Tasks within a single plan? Is this the way to do it?

2.The data displayed when I right-click a maintenance plan and choose View History shows:

date and time run
plan name
task name
duration
log type
log source

Since I added a Maintenance Cleanup Task to each plan, the only task shown in the Task Name column is Cleanup History (set to 'Older than 7 days'), and the duration is 00:00:00, where previously all tasks were shown and the overall duration was over a minute.

However, the .BAK files are being created (size looks OK), the application log contains entries suggesting the backups and other tasks completed successfully, and if I expand the SQL Server Logs node and view the current file I can see entries which give the same 'success' messages (presumably this log is the source of the 'success' messages in the application log?).

Why does there appear to be an anomaly between the 'View History' display and the SQL Server Log and application log? Should I be worried, or is what I can see in the SQL Server Logs and application log sufficient grounds for a good night's sleep?

Thanks,

Ed

Strange Date/time Anomaly, Or Am I Just Stoopid?

Aug 30, 2005

To set up the problem, paste this into QA:if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id =object_id(N'[dbo].[WorkOTRate]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable')= 1)drop table [dbo].[WorkOTRate]GOCREATE TABLE [dbo].[WorkOTRate] ([TimeFrom] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,[TimeTo] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,[RateMultiplier] [float] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOINSERT INTO dbo.WorkOTRate (TimeFrom, TimeTo, RateMultiplier)VALUES ('18:00:00', '23:59:59', 1.2)SELECT TimeFrom, TimeTo, RateMultiplier FROM dbo.WorkOTRateThis gives the following result:1900-01-01 18:00:001900-01-02 00:00:001.2So, it's storing the time 23:59:59 as midnight. That's odd.(NOTE: If you rescript the table using datetime instead ofsmalldatetime types, the data are stored correctly.)It gets worse (or better, if you like perversity).If I go to Enterprise Manager, right-click on WorkOTRate and select"Open Table" -> "Return All Rows" I get:01/01/1900 18:00:0002/01/19001.2So, I bite the bullet and change the two column types to datetime,clear out the old data and run the INSERT again. The data looks betternow.Go back to the view in EM.If I put the cursor in a new row, and type into the TimeFrom column18:30:00 and the TimeTo column 19:30:00 and the RateMultiplier column1.3, and refresh the data by pressing the red shriek !, I get this:01/01/1900 18:00:0001/01/1900 23:59:591.218:30:0019:30:001.3If I re-run the SELECT from the QA, I get this:1900-01-01 18:00:00.0001900-01-01 23:59:59.0001.21899-12-30 18:30:00.0001899-12-30 19:30:00.0001.3Is it just me, or does this seem to be remarkably inconsistent?Edward

Execution Time Anomaly In Stored Procedures In SQL Server 2005

Dec 3, 2006

Background: We have SQL Server 2005 x64 running on a quad-core (dual dual-core) machine with 16GB of RAM. The database is about 10GB in size and we execute around a million stored procedures a day on it. Our application uses about 1000 different stored procedures on this machine. The application is a transactional B2B web-app with about 2000 users.
The problem we have is a really odd one that I can't seem to find much information on. We have a small number (3-4) of stored procedures that's exibiting this problem.
The stored proc in question takes on average 100ms CPU time to execute. It's a fairly complex stored proc, about 300 lines long, 6-7 select statements and it uses temp tables. No updates / inserts except for on the temp tables. It's executed about 5000 times per day. About once a week, though, execution times will suddenly jump up to 3000 ms average. This happens randomly during the day, although it seems to happen more often on Monday mornings (the DB is mostly unutilized over the weekend)
To fix this, I force the DB to recalculate the execution plan by adding / removing (depending what I did last time around) the line 'set arithabort on' at the top of the stored procedure. I have no idea why this works, but it does. Within seconds of changing it, the stored proc execution time will go back to it's normal range of 60-150ms.
I've tried setting the execution plan of the stored procedure but I can't get it to work - the execution plan is very long and I don't know how to debug the error I get.
What is happening? This happens with a couple of stored procedures - usually the more complex ones. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Very Interesting !

Jun 12, 2004

Below is the statement given in MicroSoft SQL Server migration documentation :

"When a view is defined with an outer join and is queried with a qualification on a column from the inner table of the outer join, the results from SQL Server and Oracle can differ. In most cases, Oracle views are easily translated into SQL Server views"

Please can anyone explain the above with some examples. I don't find such a 'CREATE VIEW' statement existsing in two DBs, which results in different result set. Am I wrong ?

Thanks,

Another tech was having the same problem with his sp which he also made into a macro. He was having the same problem as I was, he thought since he made the user the dbo owner that he woud have no problems...but since hes the one who created the db and the stored procedures when the user tried to access it he got that same error message. It went away after he went into the Enterprise manager and in the properties of the stored procedure under permission he gave the user EXEC permissions...And WAAALLLAAA problem solved :):):):)

Interesting SQL...

Oct 22, 2004

Anyone else experience this? A developer just finished complaining about the performance of one of our databases. Well, he sent me the query and I couldn't understand why it was such a dog. Anyways I rewrote it. The execution plan is totally different between the two. I had no idea specifying the join made such a difference. First sql executed in 7 minutes that 2nd took 1 second. SELECT dbo.contract_co.producer_num_id, contract_co_statusFROM dbo.contract_co, dbo.v_contract_co_statusWHERE ( dbo.v_contract_co_status.contract_co_id = dbo.contract_co.contract_co_id ) AND contract_co_status = 'Pending' OR ( contract_co_status = 'Active' and effective_date > '1/1/2004' )SELECT dbo.contract_co.producer_num_id, contract_co_statusFROM dbo.contract_co INNER JOIN dbo.v_contract_co_status ON dbo.contract_co.contract_co_id = dbo.v_contract_co_status.contract_co_idWHERE contract_co_status = 'Pending' OR ( contract_co_status = 'Active' and effective_date > '1/1/2004' )

Interesting ID Issues...

Feb 1, 2007

Hi all,

I have a system in place currently that both a  local and a live database, currently the sales database is kept in line with a home grown "syncronise" script that controls keeping the two tables (live and local) in sync with the use of Local and Remote ID'sFor example;Table "Sales"ID - IntRemoteID - IntVarious Data fieldsThe 'Live' System writes new records using the RemoteID field, whilst the local inserts new records using the ID field. The Sync script copies the data up/down and assigns the corresponding RemoteID/ID's to the records as they are copied accordingly.Its been decided that this process must change, in favor of Two Way Replication. I have been tasked with finding the solution to the safe handling of ID's as theres a danger that two people can be writing a record (one live, one local) and possibly create the same ID's - i know that replication has its own ID's and could probably manage this well on its own, but these 'Internal' ID's have to be unique due to business rules.So i have been considering two possibilities to address this problem,1. Staggering the ID's - for instance Live ID's begin at 1,000,001 and local ID's begin at 1.2. Having a controlling ID table which provides the next IDBoth options have their advantages and disadvantages, with option 1 we will run into a problem later when the local ID's reach the 1 million mark (a few years away, i admit) and option 2 will need careful locking/transactional code to ensure the same ID isnt given twice.Does anyone have experience with this kind of issue? or could suggest an alternative approach to this problem?  Thanks in advance!

An Interesting Problem

Jan 3, 2001

We've had an interesting server issue here since about the start of the year, where the dual processor Netfinity server we've been running SQL 7 on has been holding steady at almost exactly 50% CPU utilization, give or take about 5%-10%. Disk utilization in all areas is relatively low. In fact, the server will do this right after a fresh reboot, with no users accessing. The really interesting part is that a graph of the two processors mirror each other. When the utilization of one goes up, the other goes down, almost perfectly. The two processors are the same speed, but their firmware build is different. IBM says it's not a problem. What say ye?

Interesting Question!

Nov 28, 2001

If Query1 gives 1 row output as:

customer_id
1234
-------------------
Query2 gives 1 row output as:

product_id
8970
-------------------
How do we get the above results as a single result set of 2 columns side by side? as follows:

customer_id product_id
1234 8970


Is that possible in a single select statement??
Query1 and Query2 both are select statements on the same table with different where clauses.

Hi ! I am facing an interesting problem for one of my databases. When I double click on a particular table in Enterprise Manager, the Manage Tables window shows me only one or two fields from the table. (it does not show me all the fields). When I run sp_help <tablename> in isql, all the information is displayed. Why is there such inconsistency. It happens only on one particular database. I have run DBCC commands but still no help. Does anyone have any ideas on this. Thankx,

Interesting Challenge

Jul 12, 2005

We're having to work with some legacy data. The tables in the so-called database seem to have way more nulls than actual data. One table appears to have around 100 or more columns in it. It has close to 40,000 rows.

This Db has pretty much 0 normalization present.

IOW, your worst nightmare.

Is there a way we could run a query that would return the total number cells inthat contain NULL and another that could return the total number of data-bearing cells so we could come up with a % or a ratio.

Folks ! Very Interesting !

Jun 8, 2004

Hi Folks,

This is a create table statement in DB2 z/ODS and OS/390 ( mainframe versions ) :

create table test(sno int) IN DATABASE database1 AUDIT NONE DATA CAPTURE NONE

This will create a table in the named database 'database1'.

1) In SQL Server, is there any equivalent for this 'IN DATABASE' syntax in DB2 ?

2) 'Data capture none' will not store any extra info about the data replication in the log files. Is there any eqiuivalent for this in SQL Server ?


Thanks,

Interesting Problem

Jul 23, 2005

Imagine a table in Microsoft Sql Server 2000 named Pictures with threefields. A primary key ID(int), a Name(nvarchar) and a Picture(image)field.Lets put some records into the table. The first two fields as expectedwould take an int and a string. The third field is of type image.Instead of putting a bitmap in this field lets place an xml documentthat has been streamed into a byte array. The xml document woulddescribe the Picture using say lines. If the picture was that of asquare we would have four lines in the xml document. You could think ofthe xml document as something similar to vector graphics but thedetails are not relevant. The important fact is that the contents ofthe image field is NOT a bitmap but a binary stream of an xml document.Now imagine we have a reporting tool like Crystal Reports that can beused to report on this database table. Imagine we create a report byusing the three fields mentioned above. As far as Crystal is concernedthe first field is an int, the second a string and the third an image.If our table had ten records and we preview the report we like to see10 entries each consisting of an ID, Name and a Picture.This can only happen if the image field contains a Bitmap, but asmentioned above the field contains an xml document.Now my question...Can we write something in SQL Server 2000 (not 2005) to sit between thetable and Crystal Reports so to convert the XML document to a bitmap.The restriction is that we cannot use anything but sql server itself.The client in the above case has been Crystal Reports but it could beanything.I know SQL Server 2005 supports C# with access to the .NET frameworkwithin the database. Unfortunately, I am not using SQL server 2005.Some people have suggested the use of User Defined Functions and TSQL.I like to know from the more experienced SQL Server people if what I amtrying to achieve is possible. Maybe it has not been done but is itpossible?Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...Many Regards

Really Interesting Issue!

Sep 20, 2007



Hi All,

When I wanted to see ONLY today€™s records on the sql server, it took 5 minutes.
When I wanted to see records including today€™s records on the sql server, no problem. (19 Sep. is a past date which is working properly)
It is very interesting it takes 5 minutes to sort the lastday there is nothing wrong with the other days.
I ran DBCC INDEXDEFRAG method but no change anything.

I am wondering about something, everyday at 22:00 pm we are getting backup. Is this process creating a difference between before getting the back up and after got the backups?
It is really interesting issue. I do not know what I can say. It seems there is an issue with today€™s records. May be there are some locks on the today€™s records. I do not know. Why does not cause any issue for old dates but for current day ?



SELECT DISTINCT CallIDChar, ANI, DNIS, CallerName, AgentName, CallQueue, AgentID, CallType, CallStartTimeStamp, CallEndTimeStamp, CallDuration
FROM (SELECT MAINTBL.*, DRTTABLE.CallDuration AS CallDuration



FROM CallInfo AS MAINTBL

JOIN ( SELECT CallID, DateDiff(second, min(CallStartTimeStamp), max(CallEndTimeStamp)) as CallDuration


FROM CallInfo

GROUP BY CallID
) AS DRTTABLE ON MAINTBL.CallID=DRTTABLE.CallID
) as CallInfo

WHERE CallIDChar = CallIDChar


AND (CallStartTimeStamp >= '2007-09-20T00:00:00')

AND (CallStartTimeStamp <= '2007-09-20T23:59:59')

What can be reason for this issue and how can I solve it ?

Thank you in advance,

An Interesting Bug For SSIS

Apr 12, 2007

I have a very simple SSIS package that imports data from ODBC source. There are two "Time" columns in source, but When this table is created in SQL2005, it give me "bigint"!!!



How can this happen?



I tried to import data to SQL2000, those two columns are created as "smalldatetime" properply.



Thanks.

An Interesting Idea...

Jun 23, 2007

Having no more experience than reading books online, here is an interesting idea I would like to run by you guys and you can let me know if it is feasible or tell me I need to put the crack pipe down...



We are going to increase the number of disks in our SAN, and I was speaking with the SAN administrator and he mentioned the shuffling of logical drives to match the new space. He said he is going to have to go through quite a few combinations/permutations on figuring out the best configuration for what data goes on the old vs. new to get the optimal space.



Is this something that can be modeled out? I can write something that recursively figures it out, but why not explore fun ideas with tools that may be able to do it?



Thank you in advance,

John Hennesey

Interesting SQLProblem Using Joins

Sep 1, 2004

Using Join when 2 columns in one table point to 1 column in another table

I have spent hours on this problem and no research has turned in my favour. Does anyone have any examples they can put forward for me.

I am really desperate to sort this out, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

About SmallDateTime Sthg. Interesting

May 25, 2006

Hello,
In the code  SqlParameter dtDate = new SqlParameter("@date",SqlDbType.SmallDateTime,4);
dtDate.Value=Convert.ToDateTime(Session["date"].ToString());
cmd.Parameters.Add(dtDate);where the @date parameter is defined as a SMALLDATETIME inside a stored procedure, I cannot use a function such as "Convert.ToSmallDateTime" and it seems a conversion from DateTime to SmallDateTime takes place anywhere within the code. Eventually it works but I wonder if everything's ok with this code. Is there anything wrong about it?  Thanks

Interesting Grouping Question

Jan 23, 2002

I have an interesting request.
I would like to take a table such as:

date value
----- -----
1/1/01 10.5
1/2/01 9.3
1/3/01 11.5
1/4/01 4.7
1/5/01 3.2

and calculate an average for each record, based on its own value AND the following two values. In other words, for the first record, I would take
sum(10.5 + 9.3 + 11.5)/3 and put this into a third column in my table. I would then do the same for the next record: sum(9.3 + 11.5 + 4.7)/3.
Thanks in advance!

BV

Does anyone know how to do this in SQl.
